Keynote Speaker: JC Cahill, New England Auto & Truck Recyclers.

JC is a well-known industry speaker, consultant, and recycler. He grew up in the recycling industry, and after graduating from the University of Vermont, JC decided to take a corporate career route. He worked for several years for both major consolidators at an executive level, serving as the National Sales Manager for GreenLeaf Auto Recycling and the Regional Director for B&R Auto Wrecking. JC also created the first hybrid self-service and full-service superstore for Schnitzer Steel. After spending a few years in the corporate arena, JC realized that his real passion was the recycling industry where he grew up. Today, JC is the owner of two successful recycling facilities: New England Auto and Truck Recyclers (NEATR) in Massachusetts, and Cahill’s Auto Parts in New York. JC’s other passion is teaching others the leadership and sales skills he has learned and practiced in his own business. His enthusiasm for teaching others is evident in his dynamic training classes, which have been attended by recyclers from across the industry. For over a decade, JC has enjoyed sharing some of his knowledge and a lot of his passion for the automotive recycling industry by speaking at state, regional, national, and worldwide automotive recycling conventions.
